Thu, 29 Nov 2012 03:51:02 +0000http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/?p=82462#comment-72518Robust security efforts? Do you even read this site that you blog for? Here is a quote from an article from Sept 2012: "As of May 2011, the [Palestinian Authority] spent NIS 18 million ($4.5 million) per month on compensating Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons and a further NIS 26 million ($6.5 million) on payments to families of suicide bombers. In all, such payments cost the PA some 6 percent of its overall budget, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Monday night, citing documentation signed by Fayyad.

The PA also makes payments to Israeli Arabs jailed for security offenses against Israel, the report said….

An amendment of the law in January 2011 enacted by Fayyad increased the salaries by up to 300%, Channel 2 reported."

Since when do rewarding terrorists and giving financial incentives to commit violence constitute a "robust security effort against terrorists?"

You are so out of your depth it is really embarrassing.

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 02:30:29 +0000http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/?p=82462#comment-72512Abbas is not a moderate! What he says in English to appeal to Leftist groups is not the same as what he says in Arabic to his own people. There are so many websites which document his repeated encouragement of violence against Jews, his denials of the Jewish history of the land of Israel and his goal to "liberate all of Palestine" from the usurping Zionists. He does not want peace; he has never wanted peace. If you don't believe me, do the research yourself. Check out Palestinian Media Watch or MEMRI; he is no different than a Hamas terrorist, he is just a monster with a PhD and a suit.

Rabbi Ruben put part of it in his email which was weird cause he kinda took what you said out of context, so I was confused and clicked and read it and I was super impressed.
